Friends; The Best Television Series Ever

Friends: The Best Television Series EverThe American sitcom Friends is without a doubt the best television series ever produced due to the unique characters, clever humor and wide audience range. The series premiered in 1994, and lasted ten seasons before its finale in 2004. The show follows six best friends living in New York City, as they struggle through life as young adults. Each character offers a very distinct and contrasting personality, allowing for endless scenarios, making each episode just as good as the last. The show’s brilliant screenwriters incorporated unexpected humor into every scene, using both long-standing jokes and new material. The show also appealed to a wide range of viewers, as the characters’ daily struggles are relatable to the lives of many. There are numerous reasons why this hilarious series has become a timeless sitcom that is still celebrated twenty years after its conception.

One of the major aspects of Friends that sets it apart from other television shows is that it is does not have one main character, but instead equally focuses on six main characters. Each character’s individual quirks and personality allow them to equally contribute to the dynamics of their friendship. The characters were each given enough space to grow in their own way, without overshadowing any of the other characters. The viewer cannot help but feel attached to each of the characters as they embark on their journey through life.

Another reason why Friends is arguably the best television series ever is the hilarious content that the show offers in each of its episodes. The witty screenwriters created a variety humor in each scene, ranging from sarcasm and practical jokes to the unexpected comedy they found in normally mundane activities. Many of the best moments in the show involve very crazy and creative events, such as the scene where Joey gets a turkey stuck on his head. There was never a dull moment throughout the entirety of the series, as...

How I met my bestfriend
I started my journey in eighth grade when I met my boyfriend, Cory. We met through mutual friends and immediately became close. We began hanging out here and there with group of friends and eventually split off from the group and being hanging out alone. We began as friends and started taking time to get to know each other, at first it was awkward because there wasn’t much to talk about but after a while of being around each other we got to know one another really well. He brought me to his house for the first time to meet his family and I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous. I can remember searching through my closet for what felt like forever trying to decide what to wear. Finally when we got to his house his family greeted us in the kitchen. All I can remember is thinking how perfect their family looked, the exact stereotype of what a happy loving family should look like. I immediately felt welcomed and knew that we would get along really well. The whole time I was there I can remember worrying about having to introduce him to my family. I wasn’t sure if my parents would accept the idea of me having a boyfriend at such a young age and I was nervous they wouldn’t approve. About a week later I took the leap and brought Cory to my house afterschool to meet my parents, and surprisingly my dad took to him right...

...﻿BestFriends
It was my second year back at Kildonan East Colligate. My bestfriend Sydney and I walked in the small gym doors. My cheeks we’re rosy red because it was starting to get cold outside. As we walked in the gym the bleachers we’re packed with some new faces and some familiar faces. The gym looked small at first because of all the students in it but in reality it is huge! Banners hanging all around from the sports team they have here at Kildonan East. After the teachers we’re finished talking I went upstairs to my Teacher adviser room. As I was walking through the hallways that we’re more crowded than ever because of all the new grade nines. The new half lockers made the hallways look dim because they are now a blackish- grey color.
“Hey Aria!” Mason shouted as he pushed me into the new lockers. I blushed and rolled my hazel eyes.
“So, how do you like Kildonan East?” I asked Mason.
“It’s a pretty good school but I’m going to need your help finding some of my classes. So I guess I won’t start bulling you yet!” Mason answered.
“Umm I don’t know. I don’t think I want to help a bully!” I said as I tried not to laugh.
“Fine, I guess I won’t bully you just yet.” Mason said jokingly.
Mason the popular guy in grade nine has been my bestfriend for about four years now. He is probably the most trustworthy guy I know. A super sweet and caring guy. When I...

How My BestFriend Has Changed My Life
Like any kid growing up I had a bestfriend; as I grew up she was the big sister I never had and to this day nobody can compare to her in my eyes. As kids we always promised each other we’d never leave each others side; back then I never imagined one day Jenna, my bestfriend would be more than just a phone call away. As time has gone on Jenna without even knowing has taught me so many lessons being strong and patient are just a to name a few.
My bestfriend, Jenna Ahern, grew up down the street from me; her two older sisters were my nannies during the summer, which was the main reason we were so close. Over one summer Jenna was sick of me being the only kid my age with water wings, she knew water frightened me by she decided she was going to fix that. That same day she convinced me one day to take my water wings off and little by little I faced my fear of the water, and by the time summer came to an end I could swim on my own. This was the first big fear I remember facing, never after that summer have I been afraid of water, or swimming.
As we started getting older we fell apart, and for a time we didn’t even know each other anymore. I had felt like all of those years and memories should be erased, I was too young to even know how to stop it. As the time flew by my sophomore year...

A BestFriend is Man’s BestFriend
Dogs have been known to be “Man’s BestFriend” for thousands of years. More commonly known to be man’s bestfriends are dogs, rather than cats and any other animal. Most people consider a bestfriend as someone who is there for you when you are sad or lonely, when you need someone to talk, cry, or laugh, however a man’s bestfriend is all the same and more. Dog’s today are referred as man’s bestfriend because they are loyal, faithful, intuitive, trust worthy and loveable. They are animals that people get really attached to as if they were another human being, a bestfriend that is closer than any other being.
Good friends are loyal and stick by you no matter what, and that’s especially true when it comes to man’s bestfriend. Dogs will search for their companion even if there nowhere to be found. Some people say it’s because dogs depend on people for food and shelter but when you see how dogs react when there human companions or their canines friends come back after they’ve been gone for a long time you notice how excited and happy they become. Or when their human’s...

...Dai bears in itself the image of a country, Vietnam with an abundant cultural core.
2. The Ao Dai not only symbolizes the national tradition, but also glorifies the beauty of the Vietnamese women, especially the white Ao Dai has been connected with the softness and purity of the Vietnamese girlstudents for long time. With the simple but fine features, the purely white Ao Dai brings about the sense of nobility for highschool girlstudents. No one can forget the image of the girlstudents of Dong Khanh Highschool on their way back home. That image has been the endless inspirations for writers and poets since then. Young girlstudents may like the youngness and the modernity of the new fashionable uniforms, but the Ao Dai is always the best choice for the dress that represents the dynamic and modern aspects of present-time girlstudents, but still keeps the non-mistakable of the Vietnamese women.
3. Finally, the Ao Dai honors not only the external beauty but also the internal beauty of the Vietnamese girls’soul more than any other costumes. To some extents, the dress we wear influences our behavior. In this sense, the Ao Dai has educational value. In the white, charming Ao Dai, the girls’ conducts, speech, attitudes and manner are even more valued. That is the thought of holding a representative,and national image ,the preservation and the development of the cultural values for the nation. The educational aspect of the Ao Dai not only spreads over the...

...traces of friendship are all around you. This situation is portray nicely in the movie The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants as it discusses four bestfriends and the amazing summer that they spend even though they are not together because their summer is connected by a pair of jeans that amazingly enough, fits all of them perfectly, even though they are very different in size and shape. Apart from that movie, the importance of friendship in every aspect of our life was also reflected in the article Friends, Good Friends and Such Good Friends by Judith Viorst. In the article, Viorst categorized friends into categories according to their roles and importance in our life. Both movie and article emphasize the importance of friendship and the effects of it in our life. I personally can relate to those two sources because while growing up, I learnt to treasure friendship that I have with my bestfriend. In the movie, all of the characters have known each other their whole life; and, they have been seeing each other through divorce, death and all fun and pains of adolescent years. Because of their intimacy, they find comfort and tell each other secrets that even their parent never know. I can easily correlate to their situation and honesty toward each other because in my entire life, there are no memories that I can evoke without my best...
